"If we’re seeing such a deadly batch of heroin so close, I’m concerned that we will see these drugs in our county," Early said. "All heroin is deadly, but this is extremely dangerous."

Massachusetts State Police said on Facebook that three of those overdose deaths linked to heroin with the "Hollywood" stamp occurred on New Year's Day. That is in addition to five others during the previous week.

"In all reality, that Hollywood is a good batch, a potent batch and that's what people in addiction are looking for … even if it is going to cost them their lives," said Michael Earielo, who's been recovering from his addiction for four years.

Additionally, Keene, New Hampshire, Police Department reports the "Hollywood Heroin" is linked to at least one, non-fatal overdose incident in the past week.

"All heroin use is potentially deadly, but for reasons still to be determined, the heroin being sold under the "Hollywood" stamp has proven exceptionally deadly in recent days," the department posted on Facebook.

Early said the Good Samaritan Law allows witnesses of an overdose to call police and not risk being charged with possession of illegal drugs.

In Massachusetts, the opioid epidemic is suspected of being linked to over 1,000 deaths. State Police said they investigated 755 heroin overdose deaths during 2015.
